I am very concerned about the size of your girl with the diarrhea. Most definitely a trip to the vet is in order. Your feeding schedule seems ok, but you will really have to watch her for hypoglycemia. Did your vet check this puppy over when you bought her? Did the breeder give you a contract and health guarantee for this puppy? Not every tiny puppy has problems, but I had a tiny male earlier this year. I supplemented with a bottle till he was old enough and strong enough to eat on his own with the littermates over powering him. I kept this pup till he was FIVE MONTHS old to be sure there were no neurological problems associated with his size. The pup is now 10 months old and doing well.
Good luck with your puppy, but be sure to have her vet checked.
